Subject: RE: Celtic vs Celtic: Which is Correct?
What a lot of nonsense! Both are accepted by major dictionaries, both are in common use, so "go with the flow;" use whichever the people around you prefer. Kim C and Scabby Doug have the right attitude.
Ceramic, i. e., made from clay, is "seramic" to most, but others say "keramic" becuse the root is the Greek word, transliterated into English, "keramos." One who insists on one or the other is just a silly bugger, regardless of his credentials.
Many words have regional pronunciations, it "makes no never mind."
